The Art Thief--a true story of love, crime, and dangerous obsession by Michael Finkel is a short but true story about Stephane Breitwieser, an art thief. He would steal art from museums and churches in Europe while his woman friend served as a lookout. I thought this was really a fascinating book. I enjoyed reading about what he was thinking as he was stealing the art. It's good! One of my favorite nonfiction books! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
